The feast of Books- The Book Feast

After a long drought of good books they have decided to avail themselves in droves. Ok, “droves” is a bit of an exaggeration but they have revealed themselves.

My current read, Nickel and dimed, is the story of a rich American woman who left her riches and decided to experience to the life of lowly paid Americans. Their life includes- their lodgings, their jobs and living solely on what she is paid. She basically decides to join Americas working poor. The part where I am now she is finding herself frustrated by the long hours and two jobs she has had to take up in order to feed herself and pay her exorbitant rentals in dingy houses. She is also annoyed by the lack of respect that she gets from the bourgeoisies. She is Barbara Ehrenreich. 

After this I am moving onto “Don’t listen to what I have to say”. This is a collection of real stories told by Zimbabweans across the country and in some in exile. The back cover explains that this book asks the question: How did a country with so much promise go wrong? The author of this volume chose to remain anonymous for obvious reasons.The person who gave it to me (a gentleman who I am beginning to think is in Central Intelligence) promised me that after I have read this book cover to cover we will have a discussion about its contents. If and only if he is satisfied by the outcome of the discussion will he give me another book. One which he has promised I won’t be able to finish because it will reveal things that are going on around me that I never conceived could be possible in the land that I come from…. So he has given me tender meat first and if I can chew and swallow it, he will give me biltong. 

Thereafter we move on to “Finding your million dollar mate”. This one I got from my older sister from another mother. I am a bit worried because she gave it to me two weeks after meeting The Mr… could she be secretly trying to tell me something? Of course not, the meeting was a success, they got along quite handsomely. Author: Randy Pope a Christian man. 

Last but not least we have “The Audacity of Hope”by my main man B. This one I will read last because it is my own so there is no hurry. I thoroughly enjoyed Dreams from my Father and I am hoping that this one lives up to my high expectationsof the man…. (My main man B is Barack Obama)…

I have no love for fiction at the moment so all of the above are non-fiction.

In the event that I do disappear worry not, it is only because my nose is stuck in one of these books…..

p.s my sincere apologies for the bad quality pictures.
